Yes it is possible but there is a BIG but...As you could expect Windows does not give a damn about other operating systems so grub will be destroyed.Luckily that's easy to fix.Boot the live cd and follow the instructions in the wikihttp://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php ... _your_grubOf course read it at least once first and write down the number of your present Mint partition. This is simple and I've done it several times (not because of Windows though)

thanks! i already found some thread, which guided me to use Super Grub Disk. i installe xp, and managed to boot back to Mint with Super Grub, but now i can't select XP to boot... so i guess i just have to play around with Super Grub settings...
